Cyber Security Disciplines

In order to work in security and criminal investigation, it is mandatory to wear proof of identity: 
– Gray proof of identity:  
intended for a person who carries out security work and meets the requirements in Article 5 CPR, 
– Blue proof of identity:  
intended for a person who may perform security work described for identification for an organization with a limited license,  
– Yellow identification: 
for a person who carries out private investigative work and meets the requirements of article 10 CPR, proof of identity for special investigating officers, as established by the minister on the basis of the Extraordinary Investigating Officer Decree belonging to a private security organization, or a part thereof, that by the minister has been designated as a category or unit as referred to in Article 142 WbSv. 

 

In order to obtain proof of identity, a certificate of professional competence must be met via ECABO and a screening by the police for reliability requirements. 

 

There are roughly five similarities between security officers: 

They are at least in possession of the Security Certificate or are in training for this (before August 2002 this could also have been a General Security Officer or the basic security officer diploma). The Security Guard degree is the compulsory training for security officers at MBO level 2.  
They are at least 17 years old. 

 

They were screened by ECABO (with regard to professional competence requirements) and by the police and judiciary (with regard to reliability requirements) before commencement of employment and therefore provide proof of identity. 

 

They all have a job that has to do with safety and security. 

They are employed by a company with an ND, BD, PAC or PGW number approved by the Ministry of Justice and fall under the Collective Labor Agreement for Private Security. 
The various functions are distinguished by their own character. A mobile security guard, for example, drives car laps, opens and closes business premises and triggers alarms. While a store supervisor is running preventive rounds, it can cause arrests in stores and can carry out arrests. In addition, new functions are regularly created such as the protection of asylum seekers’ centers and polka dot swallowers, often as responses to the changing demand from clients or social society. This means that the security industry is constantly on the move.

Security officer / receptionist
The desk or reception is the calling card of a company, and a point where many business processes start. In addition, it is also an important link in the internal safety of the company. The activities include receiving guests, checking suppliers and goods, making visitor passes, keeping control among staff and visitors, camera surveillance, and often you are also a telephonist. 
You are therefore an important link between the company, and visitors and suppliers
